I am planning a stay at POR for this September. It will be me, my sister, and maybe her youngest daughter (age 23). What is keeping me from booking is that I am struggling with which type of room to book.
First thing is I usually share a scooter with my sister during our trips (I have an achilles that has disintegrated along with some knee issues, she has a few hip and back problems) but can walk without one. So if I rent a scooter from an off site vendor I am worried a bit about getting on the buses. I worry about having a spot for the scooter with so many stops.
I know POR has 4 stops, and that the West Depot is the first stop. Which makes me think of booking a 5th sleeper room(which will put us in the bayou section) and asking to be close to the West Depot. Or as both of us can walk without a scooter most of the time, do I book preferred to be close to the front of the resort and the gift shop and food, hop on the bus at that stop, and rent a scooter at the parks? I know September has a lot of rain, so maybe a scooter really isn't needed at the resort. With this trip being just us girls we can go at our own pace, and not have to worry about running around the parks.
What do you think? Should I have a scooter at the resort and book a 5th sleeper room and try to get near the West bus stop? Or do I skip the scooter at the resort and go with a preferred room?
